i didnt have to turn mine just bent the hell out of the floor plate

thats way to do it:U: something will have to give eventually

but back to the question cant you take a NV4500 out of a 1998-2002 or will it not fit

it should fit they uses the same adaptor plet for the 5.9 cummins, and the same bell housing

You caught me on that one - I just assumed all NV-4500HD's were the same.

They are

Its the linakge thats different. If you wanted to run that you would have to get the linkage and shiter parts from a 98 - 02 5 speed.

The tranny is the same internally... The linkage is different, but even linkage from the 98+ won't work, it has a different top plate for the case. The 98+ have a bolt on style shifter, while the 94-97 had a gay way of doing it, I know... I have one. You cannot put a short shifter into a 94-98 tranny without changing top plates to a 98+, but the 98+ tranny's have a way shorter throw already, so it seems lame to put in a shift kit into a tranny that shifts short already.

You are very much correct.
The only other difference is how the t-case shifter mounts. I just put an 01 nv4500 in my 97. I guess the 01 t-case shifter mounts to the floor?:humm: On the 97 it bolted to the tailshaft housing. The places for the bolts where there on the 01 nv4500, so we drilled and tapped them. You can definitly tell a big difference in the shift throw.
